Probably the most interesting new feature in Proxmox 9 (Beta 1):

Finally we're able to create #Snapshots of VMs with shared block storage (such like #iSCSI, #FibreChannel & #NVMeoF) with LVM Thick without doing dirty workarounds. Well done Proxmox (& Alex!).

Recently, I created a plugin (including PVE UI integration) for #NetApp based storages to create storage side snapshots.

PS: #ProxLB also already supports PVE9!

A video of the PVE UI, showing a shared iSCSI storage across three Proxmox VE 9 beta 1 nodes with a thick LVM group shared which has the new experimental feature for "Storage-Managed Snapshots" activated.

How I quickly spawn my #Proxmox Labs - Proxmox Cloud Image & Proxmox Bare-Metal Auto Installer

This way, you can just spin up your cluster in less than 5 minutes and continue your tests :)

🤫 Pssssst - ProxLB 1.1.5 for your Proxmox Clusters has been released!

Just one small new feature:
* You can now use custom ports for the API request

This becomes handy when using additional/external load balancers on different ports than tcp/8006. Have fun :)

Moving snac to home server was really easy. Can't imagine moving a mastodon instance this way.

Used tar on data folder — as recommended to preserve hardlinks —. Wormhole'd the data to my #proxmox host, untar'ed and started it again.

All I had to do was setup autossh tunnel so that port 8001 in my LXC container pointed to some other port on the existing nginx frontend about 8000km away in Beauharnois 🇨🇦. It seems suprisingly reliable so far.
